CP-BN |
| Description: |
My first CP-BN encounter for the quarterly swap boasts a pair!of multimark SD40-2's. Another cool thing about this train, is today it took the 603 switch (right by the last TTX gondola) onto the mainline instead of leaving through the T Yard. This isn't all that rare at all, but still a nice change of pace. These two sure look good in early morning light! |

Twins on the HAT |
| Description: |
Ahh, the joy of telephoto once again. My last two DSLR's took up most of my budget, and thus not allowing me to buy good glass to go along with them. I acquired the cheaper 50-200mm(pentax) and 55-200mm(nikon) instead, which made me never want to use them because of the hideous distortions. But recently I acquired the Nikkor 75-300mm lens, built from 1989-1999, and uses the good Nikon glass that you don't get anymore unless you trade them a few limbs. Anyway, enough with the lens history. CP's HAT (Hoffman Ave Transfer) heads Westward on the West Runner (how fitting?) with the CP 6048 trailing. |
